Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

catchup scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Unrestricted tool accessmediumExcessive agency

A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Where did I stop?

Run this from the project root:

claude-db catchup

It prints what memory and git know about this project, in plain text. Some parts may be missing. A part with nothing in it is left out.

  • Last handoff is a note the user or a teammate saved on purpose. Trust it most, unless its heading says older than the last chat. Then the last chat is newer, and wins where they differ.
  • Not finished yet in another chat is a request another chat is still working on, or that was stopped. Say so under Open.
  • Last chat and Chat before are the other chats with the newest recorded requests, open or ended, newest first: the 5 newest requests in all.
  • Still to do are to-dos found in earlier chats.
  • Not committed yet is recorded work that no commit has covered.
  • Decisions and dead ends are what was chosen or ruled out, with the reason.
  • Branch says which branch you are on and how many files are uncommitted.
  • Git status and Recent commits are the live state of the repository.

If the output is Nothing recorded for this project yet., say exactly that and stop.

Answer in three groups

Reply with these three groups and nothing else. Keep each to a few short lines in plain words.

Done: what is finished. Take it from the last chat, the recent commits and the handoff's Done line.

Open: what is started but not finished. Take it from Not committed yet, Git status, the to-dos and the handoff's Open line.

Next: what to do first. Take it from the handoff's Next line, then from the to-dos.

Rules

  • Use only what the output shows. Do not read other files or search memory unless the user asks.
  • Mark anything you are unsure of with (guess). Never state a guess as a fact.
  • If there is no clear next step, write No clear next step found. Do not invent one.
  • Say how old the information is. Use the dates in the output, for example Last chat (Oct 6).
  • Do not save anything. Do not run any command that changes the repository.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
